View this post on Instagram
For 44 years, MCM had one monogram, the widely recognized Cognac Visetos. Now, following the release of the Vintage Jacquard monogram earlier this year, the leather luxury goods brand is adding a third in celebration of its 45th anniversary. In an ode to the company’s Bavarian roots, the MCM Cubic monogram features a diamond design reminiscent of the country’s flag, and the 3D pattern dominates MCM’s Fall 2021 M’ETAVERSE collection. It also features a repeating pattern that “symbolizes a convergence of the lives our consumers lead as well as the voyages and destinations which comprise them,” explained Dirk Schönberger, MCM’s global creative officer, in a press release.

Alexander McQueen’s Tread Slick photography series continues
For the Spring 2020 pre-collection, Alexander McQueen launched a boot called the Tread Slick, which boasted an oversized rubber sole with a canvas upper. It was birthed alongside a photography series that invited global photographers to capture the boot in an environment that means something to them personally, and the Tread Slick quickly became a coveted pillar of the house of Alexander McQueen.
